MPM Holdings Inc. ("Momentive" or the "Company") (OTCQX: MPMQ) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

"We are pleased to report solid third quarter results and continued progress on our ongoing transformation initiatives," said Jack Boss, Chief Executive Officer and President. "Our results reflect solid operational performance and continued growth in our specialty silicones portfolio, despite a relatively weak global economic environment. Earlier this month, we completed an important first step at our Leverkusen facility as part of our journey to transform Momentive's global siloxane footprint. We have now ceased siloxane production at Leverkusen and begun sourcing related intermediates under long-term third party contracts and from other Momentive global sites. We expect this initiative will provide for $10 million of savings on a run-rate basis and remain focused on making strategic investments in our leading specialty technologies and cost structure to drive long-term growth and profitability."

Third Quarter 2016 Results

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $567 million, an increase of 1% compared with $559 million in the prior-year period. The increase in net sales was driven by higher silicone volumes and improved product mix, partially offset by lower quartz sales.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $66 million, an increase of 61% compared with $41 million in the prior year period. The increase in Segment EBITDA was driven primarily by improved demand in electronics and silanes, production efficiencies, and raw material deflation in the silicones segment. See "Non-U.S. GAAP Measures" and Schedule 4 to this release for further information regarding Segment EBITDA for a reconciliation of Segment EBITDA to net (loss) income.
